Back at X Games for his second year in a row, Australia's Jarryd McNeil is looking to end Todd Potter's reign as the world's best whipper. McNeil has a style all his own, which was enough to land him a silver medal at X16, but with stiff competition coming in the form of France's Thomas Pagès, Josh Hansen, Jeremy 'Twitch' Stenberg, and of course Potter, he has a hefty task at hand if he's looking to leave L.A. with a gold medal around his neck.
